Trading cans to fund travel for a week from London to Berlin seems like an impossible task, but today Tauranga-born Tish McNicol and two of her fellow Otago University mates have done it.
Ms McNicol and brother and sister combo Chessie and Finn Henry represented New Zealand, and Australasia, in the "Red Bull Can You Make It?" competition.
The competition involved 100 university teams from 27 countries racing each other across Europe.
They began with 24 cans of red bull, trading them for food, accommodation and travel and earning more by completing challenges at checkpoints along the way.
The seven-day journey started on April 4 and came to an end yesterday when they arrived in Berlin at 1am local time.
